Apparently, I'm not as thin as I think I am.

I grew this #BirdOfParadise from seed 25 years ago. It didn't flower until 13th year but has produced up to 6 blooms each year since then. It stays outside between March & November when I bring it indoors. I still haven't got round to putting googly eyes on them yet 🙃 #BirdOfParadise #UK #Tropical

Another amazing discovery which pushes back the oldest known cave art by over 15,000 years!!!
And the professor who led the project is Adam Brumm, brother of Joe (the creator of Bluey!), and that’s why Bandit the dog is a paleo-archaeologist in the show! 😁

It's also all a bit...'Franz Ferdinand's assassination an embarrassment for the 'Visit Sarajevo' tourism campaign', it is certainly *true* but it is missing the point.
also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy
